What? UD does get sidetracked a bit l, but NEET is actually an acronym for “Not in Education, Employment, or Training” and it is not just some made-up internet term.
Yeah, with big derogative connotations from most of the ones using the term. Basically another way to say “bum”, which is explicitly spelled out in some of the other UD entries.

I was more confused about “a neet” tbh. Looked it up on Urban Dictionary and wow. LOTS of ableism and reinforcement of toxic Calvinism 😬

Damn. I must be getting old, I didn’t understand half the internet slang used in this topic.

There’s a fucking ism for everything now. We used to just say it was someone being an asshole.

Neet is just an acronym and it comes from japan

You’re thinking of hikikomori, the pathological, taken to 11 version of NEET.
